In this day and age when you say you're going to do something, you better darn well do it. I'm sure we are all tired of the "Oh, let's do lunch". And you don't hear from the person for weeks or months.

A handshake and your word is pretty much all you really have when it comes to establishing your integrity. In this day of information (overload in some cases), it's pretty easy to have something witty or interesting to say. But how many people actually back it up with action? It has been my experience that those individuals are few and far between. A mentor of mine once told me, "under promise and over deliver". When it comes to establishing your credibility follow through on what you tell others you are going to do. In fact, over deliver on what you committed to doing. It let's people know that they can count on you, that your word actually means something.

Well, in keeping with my promise to make sure you are ready for the coming year with lots of recipes to help keep you on track and not spend hours in the kitchen preparing food, here are two more to add to your file called "recipes".

I sincerely want you to have a variety of meal choices that are tasty, good for you and are easy to prepare (take as little time as possible). Goodness knows, we all have enough to do in our daily lives. Spending hours in the kitchen to create a nutritious, tasty meal is not to motivating. In fact it will just increase the chances of you getting off track and grabbing some highly processed alternative to a good meal.
